Train Fault & Disruption

At 1215hrs on 15 October 2017, a train fault occurred which stalled train services along the entire Downtown Line. At about 1230hrs, commuters at both Bukit Panjang bound and Expo bound trains at Ubi station were told to disembark, with the trains withdrawn to Kim Chuan Train Depot. Train service was then reported to be slow with excessive dwelling at stations.

Near Hillview station, the stalled train remained in the tunnel as SBS Transit staff accessed the train tunnel to reach the stalled train. As a result, a train service disruption between Bukit Panjang and Beauty World was announced at 1304hrs. Free regular bus boarding was activated between Bukit Panjang and Beauty World stations for commuters directly affected by the train service disruption.

Normal train service finally resumed at 1320hrs, after the faulty train was manually driven off the mainline.
